JavaScript and WebBrowser control on Autocad

I have a form with a WebBrowser Control that is loaded by the Application.ShowModalDialog function. In the load event of the form I set the WebBrowser to navigate to a html file. And that html file has a JavaScript that creates a instance of Google Earth Plug-In. The point is that the JavaScript can't find the Google Earth Plug-In and says it is not instaled, but it is. So I built a Windows Aplication with the "Windows Forms Aplication" template and replaced the form1 of the template with the form I created in my autocad plugin. And it works very fine! I think it is a security permission issue, but I don't know what kind of permission autocad gives to the .net.
Someone can help me?

 

*Sorry for the english.

Hi,

 

My first thought to your description was:

  • your EXE runs in 32bit mode
  • your DLL from within AutoCAD runs at 64bit

...?

Exactly, you're right.

The problem is that the plugin is only for 32bit system.

I had not looked at it this way. Thank you.

 

Is there any way to run the dll in compatibility mode?

Hi,

 

>> Is there any way to run the dll in compatibility mode?

I don't think so.

IPC could be the approach how I would continue, but only as long as the amount of datatransfer is not to havy.

Thank you so much for the help. I was trying to solve it in a completely different way.
I don't think IPC is a good idea, but i guess it will work. Thank you!
